Portsmouth Historic Dockyard

Portsmouth has been a naval city for centuries, so there’s plenty of history to go around. The Historic Dockyard has been home to Nelson’s flagship, HMS Victory, for many years. The Victory saw action at the Battle of Trafalgar and the spot where Nelson was fatally shot is marked for posterity.

Also home to HMS Warrior, a formidable Victorian iron-clad warship, and the Mary Rose, now housed in a dedicated museum, the Dockyard hosts an amazing collection of historic fighting ships which are well worth visiting.

There is also the National Museum of the Royal Navy, and for the more energetic visitor, Action Stations brings alive the excitement of Navy life with simulators, a climbing tower and lots of interactive exhibits - there’s even a Laser Quest zone, that uses real-life exploits of the Marines to challenge you.

Take a boat tour of the harbour to view the Royal Navy ships in port, and enjoy a view of the historic harbour front from the water.

You can buy tickets for one or more Historic Dockyard attractions, or an overall ticket giving access to everything. This really is the highlight of any visit to Portsmouth!

About The Seacrest Hotel

The Seacrest is one of the last few privately run hotels on the seafront in Portsmouth. Antoinette and Geoffrey Stretton bought the original Seacrest Hotel, at 12 South Parade, in 1984. Three years later they bought the hotel next door and decided to combine the buildings into one excellent establishment.

Whether you are in Portsmouth on holiday, for business, or visiting friends and family, the Seacrest is an ideal base. You’ll find everything you need plus, in our sea-facing rooms, a lovely view. First floor sea-facing rooms look across the Ventian Gardens to the seafront. Second floor and above rooms offer a fabulous vista across the Solent and beyond.

Rest assured that all of the staff at the Seacrest are determined to make your stay as comfortable and satisfactory as possible. We can’t wait to make you welcome here!
